Does anyone know or has experienced low Sodium due to or having PBC? What are the causes, symptoms on treatment.

Thanks

Hey Stevie! I have it! Some doctors tell me to drink more water some doctors say to drink less water. One doctor said watch sodium. I have had it for at least 4 years and nothing really seems to help. My sodium is only a little low so maybe they don't really care that much.

Let my know if you find anything that does help!

Kindly,

Pam

Thanks for your reply. What symptoms do you have regarding low sodium?

[4pjx__ in reply to stevie1]

I don't really have any symptoms that I notice. If my sodium test didn't come back a little off I wouldn't know. Do you have symptoms?

The first time it came up on a routine blood test but yesterday I went to local heath center for dizziness and she spotted other indicators such as slow in speech, slow to respond and a few more. Waiting on blood test to confirm.

I also have low sodium and no one has ever mentioned it being treatable. I just assumed it was because I eat a low sodium diet. I’m interested to hear what you find out

I have low sodium too, Two different doctors told me to eat extra sodium each meal, they don’t think it is very important..??

Hi stevie1. Not heard of a connection between PBC and low sodium. Some medications carry this as a side effect - only time my sodium was low enough to cause unpleasant symptoms it was ascribed to taking Tegretol. If it falls slowly by a few points the body can adjust, but rapid or significant falls can be serious and need diagnosing.Best wishes
